At a very young age, he started performing in various music concerts across south India and has also won several prizes in the competitions held at The Music Academy, Narada Gana Sabha, Mylapore Fine Arts etc. He started learning Western Classical Piano at the age of 10 from Trinity College of Music, London. He did his schooling at Shri Anand Jain Vidhyala, Tambaram and became a qualified Chartered Accountant in the year 2008.

He approached film director Mysskin who hired him to score the music for Pisaasu produced by director Bala. As Arul is not an uncommon name, Mysskin also suggested the stage name Arrol Corelli, after the Italian composer Arcangelo Corelli, who was also a violinist.

Corelli wrote the background music for Pisaasu; in the film he also played the violin in the song "Nathi pogum koozhangal payanam".[3] [4] [5] Corelli was nominated in the Best Background Score category at the 2015 Vijay Awards for Pisaasu.
